MISSION

Fine Art Dealers Association celebrates over 20 years as a respected not-for-profit organization with a membership of more than 50 established national and international art dealers.   FADA members are dedicated to promoting the highest degree of professionalism, scholarship and integrity and to offering quality works of art whose authenticity has been carefully researched.  Membership is by invitation only.  As the creator and overseer of the Los Angeles Art Show for 16 years, FADA applied these same principles to the organization of this annual fair.
